Overview

About 23 Birchgate Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

23 Birchgate Road is a semi-detached house in Middlesbrough (TS5 5NP). It has a recorded floor area of 89 m² (around 958 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1950-1966 and council tax band C. The latest certificate (December 2015) shows an E (score 50), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. Earlier certificates rated it D (March 2015); the latest reading is one band lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good and lighting went from Poor to Average; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 74), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from December 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

Held since July 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. One planning record on file: an extension approved in 2022. Past consents include an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Across 1999–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 12.5% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £169,000 is 12.7% above the 2007 sale price.
